BLENDS OF POLYETHERSULFONES AND POLYPHENYLENE SULFIDES

摘要

A composition including a blend of: a) a polyethersulfone; b) a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS); and c) an epoxy, and optionally a polyetherimide, wherein the polyetherimide and epoxy are present in an amount effective to act as a compatibilizer for the polyethersulfone and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). Methods of compatibilizing a blend of polyethersulfone and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). The method can include melt mixing a polyethersulfone, and polyetherimide, a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) and an epoxy under conditions of elevated temperature and simultaneous mixing.
